Form & Verdict
Won three chases and two hurdles since joining James Owen and very nearly added to that tally when narrowly denied in 2m7f handicap chase at Worcester (good; Cape Vidal back in third); up 5lb but Alex Chadwick claims the same amount; will need to get home over today's extra yardage.

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race.

Won his novice hurdle here; has ground to make up with My Gift To You on their latest Worcester clash (2m7f) but he gives the impression that a thorough stamina test will suit.

3m chase winner at Fakenham in early 2023 since when she's been lightly raced; perhaps needed the run when a fading third over 2m4f at Worcester, with that coming on the back of a wind op; possibilities.
